Coverage of the brutality of that day against the marchers, including John Lewis, a Black civil rights activist who went on to become a U.S. congressman, shocked the nation and helped spark the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

The president, who has said he intends to run for re-election, has sought to buttress his support from African American voters.
